@WHO: RT @DrTedros: I just visited north-west #Syria. The depth of suffering is difficult to convey. I sat with parents who told me about losing their children and showed me their precious photos. I have rarely been so heartbroken. https://t.co/y8Q6MiPoYK

@WHO: The 12-year conflict in #Syria caused enormous damage to the health system. The earthquakes stretched it further. Today @DrTedros entered north-west Syria and met health workers and communities to address their health needs. https://t.co/88HRHzdzJ5 https://t.co/57vag4CQdQ
